I guess “go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” isn’t in effect any more, because it costs too much?

Paul should have stayed at home and enjoyed his nice home in Judea?

Peter should have stuck to fishing?

Francis Xavier should have done a little farming in Europe?

Forget the China Inland Mission, Hudson Taylor should have worked in a shop in Birmingham?

In China, right now, Christians are sending out missionaries to foreign lands, even though China itself needs evangelization.

Those missionaries expect to be killed in the places to which they are sent (often moslem countries). They don’t have big budgets and their motivation isn’t egotism.
They are obeying the words of their Master.

Their love for him overcomes everything else—including living a comfortable life in this world.
